NatWest t20 Blast

[dan08]

One of the all time great chokes by the Kent lower order there. 3 needed off the last over, only manage 2.

Atleast you tied, better than losing by ONE run.

[Alviro Patterson]

Delighted with Yorkshire's win against Northamptonshire. Especially with an understrength bowling attack missing Ryan Sidebottom, Liam Plunkett and Jack Brooks.

Needing 1 on the last ball, Bollinger swings and misses and doesn't realise he needs to run. Ends up a couple of feet short but if he set off straight away he would've made it. Point dropped.

"While I have been here a lot of the guys have spoken about it. I just thought England invented T20 and I'd have thought you'd have an England Premier League," he told ESPNcricinfo shortly before returning to the Caribbean. "If you look at the Big Bash, the IPL, and even the CPL they keep on improving. A tournament like that should be played over a block of time. I'm not an organiser, but as a player that is how I would want it. All the other leagues, they've been able to attract world-class players. But you could sit and talk and come up with loads of different ideas. At the end of the day it's about people buying into what is done in each country." It is not that English T20 is unable to attract big names - Glenn Maxwell, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Junaid Khan, Kevin Pietersen, Saeed Ajmal, Aaron Finch and Sammy himself are among those involved this season - but they are spread unevenly among the 18 counties, often along the lines of those with deeper pockets than others. "If you look at the IPL, the prime model I suppose for T20, and look at the performances of the Indian players this year it has been tremendous," Sammy said. "Maybe it's the influence of having all that international experience in the dressing room. When you watch someone like a Dale Steyn bowling with the Indian bowlers, the feedback they get is priceless. Indian players look forward to rubbing shoulders with those internationals. And then you have the mentors like VVS Laxman with all their knowledge."

Adam Lyth and Aaron Finch do it again!

[SaintPowelly]

Fantastic reaction from Finch, although had Lyth not done that before, he probably wouldn't of been alert.

They practice this in training, catch looked even more impressive in real time. Ball looked like it was going over Lyth's head and about to drop short on Finch.

Only 3 of the Surrey team were born in England.

[Alviro Patterson]

Furious with Yorkshire today, had Durham by the googlies in restricting them for 123 an even that were 30 runs too many. Still that target should've got knocked off with 5 overs to spare, especially when 47-2 after the powerplays. Collapsing to 98 all out with a combination of shocking run outs and silly shots is unacceptable, making Durham look like world beaters when Leicestershire put on a better performance and lost.

Not on
